Doctrines Concerning

Angels

A. That angels are spirit beings created by God as holy, personal, immortal beings, possessing superhuman intelligence and power.

Psa 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

 

Mat 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

Rev 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Rev 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

 Personal Opinion:

What more can I know about angels than I read in the Bible, never having met one up front and personal?  Well maybe in my dreams.

But, I learned something new today.  I had thought that we, as Hebrews 2:7 says, are made a little lower than the angels.

Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

How the grading is done, I have no clue.  But, when we reach heaven in spirit, we become their equal.
